Committee approves payout for former officer Trunkle; union contract drives adjustments
Summary
The committee approved a payout for former officer Trunkle. Minutes show 32 hours of sick leave eligible for payout, 60 holiday hours recorded but not payable, and a prorated vacation pay calculation influenced by the union contract producing a 'payback' amount.
The Mayville Personnel Committee approved a payout for former officer Trunkle after staff explained the payout components and union-contract limits.
Staff said Trunkle had 32 hours of sick time eligible for payout. The record also shows 60 hours of holiday were recorded but are not payable. In 2026 the employee was awarded 204 vacation hours, which staff said were subsequently used; staff explained the payout is prorated based on the employee's last day of work versus the prior anniversary date, resulting in a payback amount under the union contract.
A committee member asked whether staff had reviewed the payout; staff replied that they had examined the union contract and explained the deviations. Staff reported they had shown and explained the amounts to an administrative colleague (Nicole) but had not yet shared the pay calculation with the employee.
A motion to approve the payout for Officer (former) Trunkle was made and seconded. Roll-call responses were recorded as "yes" from Alder person Smith, a person recorded as "DeBaker"/"debaker" in the transcript, Alder person Henle, Alder person Newman and a member recorded as Olsen/Olsson; the chair announced the motion carries.
The committee discussion makes clear the payout is governed by the union contract and that a payback amount may be required; the exact monetary totals and the specific payback figure were not stated in the recorded segments.
